DENVER -- On a very light trade deadline day for the organization, the Ducks made another small deal Monday by obtaining minor-league defenseman Sebastian Erixon from Vancouver for right wing Andrew Gordon.

Erixon, 22, is a left-shooting rearguard from Sweden who had a goal and seven assists in 30 games with the AHL's Chicago Wolves. He also has four years of experience with Timra IK in the Swedish Elite League before coming to North America for this season.

Gordon, 26, surprised Ducks officials with a strong training camp that earned a job out of training camp. He saw most of his playing time under former coach Randy Carlyle, appearing in 37 games and compiling two goals and three assists along with a minus-10 rating.

Having played for Bruce Boudreau in Washington and the Capitals' AHL team in Hershey, Gordon played in 13 games after Boudreau took over but he was assigned to the Syracuse Crunch on Jan. 7. The likable winger struggled with the Crunch, getting three goals and five assists in 19 games.
